Wasn't sure if this has been seen before but a quick search didn't come up with anything.

Anybody had any experience in getting custom caps from them?

I just sent them an inquiry. I'm thinking about getting some caps made for my company and want to see what rates and methods each place recommends and turn around.

I'm pretty sure they have SP make their keys, at least doubleshots anyway. I asked before if they did in house and they said no a 'partner company' does production.

It says in the key ref that SP make them, but I haven't seen any evidence of this. The best supporting evidence in my mind is that SP seems to make keycaps for everyone.

Right, really only 2 major keycap manufacture for small order customs Signature Plastics and Devlin which many of these other companies outsource order to. We also have some Chinese based coming up for dyesub option. There are other companies out there that make for oem but all I have contacted require large order which is not feasible for the smaller scope of groupbuys.
